I want to breastfeed bub 1# for a minimum of a year (til Feb 09), possibly longer. However, I would also like to start TTC in summer next year (Jan/Feb). I am quite particular about when I want to fall pregnant next as I desperately want to avoid spending another 3rd trimester in the hot aussie summer, and preferably would like to give birth to bub 2# in spring- like the animals!! (I know this sounds pedantic!)
It's just that if I miss the summer period early next year, I will have to wait until the latter half of the year to avoid spending the 3rd trimester in summer again. I'd prefer not to be preggas in summer at all if I can help it! The extra weight last summer just made the heat too much to bear.... I understand of course that I can wait until the following summer 09-2010 to fall pregnant, however I would like to start TTC sooner rather than later, IYKWIM!!
Ok, so my question is, what are my chances of falling preg whilst still breastfeeding?, or is it ridiculous for me to assume it possible?? Bub will be on solids by then so I will really be weaning... I would love to hear your advice, experiences etc. Oh- and when did your menstrual cycles resume- after or during BF? Thanks!!
